About The Giving Gown Foundation


2018 Giving Gowns Foundation Annual Boutique Day Info

The Giving Gown Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 community service organization. We collect donations of new and like-new formal gowns and accessories and provide them FREE of charge to high school girls who would otherwise be unable to attend their formal events.

We are dedicated to promoting confidence and self-esteem to high school girls and strive to help them attend their formal events in style, regardless of financial circumstances. While the girls may be focused on their dress, we are focused on them. Our mission is for each girl to be treated with respect, grace and love. On Boutique Day, we surround young ladies in the Houston area with positive role models and show them grace and love just for being them – no strings attached. We welcome girls from all walks of life and celebrate them as they learn about what defines true beauty.

 

Are you interested in volunteering as a Fairy Godmother, Seamstress, or another role within our Boutique Day for our Princesses? We'd love to have you! Boutique Room volunteers must be female, age 21+, except during set-up and tear-down, where we welcome men and teens to participate. If you are volunteering with a group, please have each group member register individually.

Please read our job descriptions below to choose which position works best for you. We look forward to serving with you!

  • Fairy Godmother:   You will work one on one with a princess as her personal shopper, helping her to find a gown and accessories.  Your job will be to show her kindness and compassion and to give her a dignified experience, where she will walk away knowing that she is beautiful.
  • Inventory:   You will be responsible for hanging and returning unwanted dresses back to their racks and restocking shoes and jewelry as needed.  You will act as an encourager, giving genuine compliments to princesses, helping to boost their confidence.
  • Set-up and tear-down:  Men, women, and teens are needed to help set up and tear down the Boutique.  On Saturday (3/10 & 3/17), we’ll set up dressing rooms, tables, chairs, and move dress racks into the Boutique. On Monday (3/19) and Tuesday (3/20) , we’ll organize the Boutique, setting out accessories and shoes, and organizing the dresses. During tear-down (3/24), we’ll move all remaining items into our on-campus storage room. Registration is not required; however, it helps us know how much we can accomplish each day if you will submit a form for the times you are available to volunteer.
  • Seamstress:  You will provide on-site alterations (hems and straps only) for our princesses as needed. Please bring your own machine.
  • Seamstress assistant:  You will help the seamstresses with seam-ripping, removing broken zippers, and sewing hook and eye closures.
  • Café:  You will plate and serve food to our princesses and their guests in our café.
